Hey there,

I was wondering if anyone can help me to write a console program using VB.net that asks the user 2 decimal numbers.

The program calculates total, average amd maximum value.

Example:

Enter number 1: __
Enter number 2: __
Enter number 3: __

TOTAL: __
AVERAGE: __
MAXIMUM: __

Wud appreciate it if any1 wud get me a started or provide me with a solution..I need to knw this urgently..

thanx n i hope this is clear enuff..

No solutions for what is almost certainly a homework assignment. What you want are the Console.Write, Console.WriteLine and Console.ReadLine methods. You would use Console.Write to display a line of text and leave the cursor on the same line. Console.ReadLine would then wait until the user presses the Enter key and read what they entered beforehand. You would then need to convert that string to a number. Do this three times to get your three values, do your calculations and then use Console.WriteLine to display your output.

No offence mr, but that is a typical homework assignment - and most people
whom want to learn VB.NET programming on their own usually starts with
something different than things like that. He already gave you hints to
solve most of the task already.

Console.WriteLine("Enter a number: ")
Dim intInitialNumber As Integer = Integer.Parse(Console.ReadLine.ToString)

The above 2 lines of codes cover the basics of your whole question, by
testing that and learning how it works, you will be able to do what you
ask for in your question.

What JCMILHINNEY says, is completly correct, these kind of solutions can be programmed in less then 5 minutes (10 if you use the internet. I will give just a little help with the Average and the Maximum. !!

The numbers (nr1, nr2 and nr3 you get with console.readline
Dim nums() As Integer = {nr1, nr2, nr3}
Array.Sort(nums) 'Sort, first number is minimum.
Array.Reverse(nums) 'Sort, first number is maximum.
' Now you have your maximum number

Average is as follows (Nr1+Nr2+Nr3) /3
